TYPOLOGY OF LINGUISTIC MEANS OF EXPRESSING AGGRESSION (BASED ON MEDIA EXAMPLES)

Abstract

The purpose of the article is to determine the typology of linguistic means of expressing aggression that we can see on TV screens, and to analyze all forms of this emotion through specific media examples. Our task is to determine which linguistic tools manifest a person's negative moods and how body language reveals that the speaker feels aggressive arousal. The subject of the investigation is the characterization of linguistic aggression in modern television broadcasts. The object is verbal and non-verbal means of expressing aggression, and the content that the media convey to the masses. Research methods used in the article include observation – for detecting specific instances of aggression in news broadcasts and shows; descriptive – to explain characteristic features of linguistic constructions; and analysis and synthesis, which structured the acquired material. The relevance of the article is in the importance of studying conflictual behavior in society, through the lens of experience gained from the media, paving the way for a better understanding of the assimilation of manners and harmonizing future societal relations. The obtained results contribute to expanding perceptions about the nature of human aggression and means of its realization in speech, communication, and interactions of news broadcast and TV show characters.
